And sometimes, it feels like everything on move day that can go wrong will go wrong.
Here’s what people had to say:
1.
The previous owners had ‘forgotten’ and had not moved any of their stuff out.
It was fully furnished, even down to having tins of food in the cupboards.
I nearly had to be resuscitated!"

“Me and my husband moved with our two kids.
The eldest was three at the time, and the youngest was only two weeks old.
We werent moving far, only about 30 minutes away, but we had recruited family to help us.
They were supposed to be completely out by 10 a.m.!”
Again, I was only two weeks postpartumit was the LAST thing I needed!
Were not planning on moving again for a long time; its just not worth the hassle!"

“The movers showed up on moving day, and their truck was too small.
They had room for only half of my stuff and left the rest behind.
Fortunately, I was able to hire another mover, who did a great job on short notice.
Then, I hired a cleaner to do a move-out clean and went off to run some errands.
I declined and asked them to just be reasonably careful.
About thirty seconds later, they dropped my china cabinet down the stairs and broke the door.
Pretty sure it was on purpose.”

“The year is 2020, the time is before the world shut down.
Since it’s also in a different town, I hire movers.
Not to pack and such, just to move pre-packed boxes and furniture.
The office is closed.
My child and I are in a new city with no transportation.”
“At 10 p.m., they finally arrive and take over an hour loading a three-room apartment.
In the process, they managed to ding the hall wall and two of my interior walls.
I had to tell them how to get it in.”

“We had to move for my husband’s new job.
It was a two-hour drive there and two more back from where we lived.
We had both obtained employment at a resort in Big Skyguaranteed start date, paperwork completed, and all.
Before leaving GA, we were told we had housing also.
Great, right?”
“First snag we hit was our vehicle decided to blow the freaking radiator and water pump.
It was hotter than hell, dead middle of the dog days of summer.
Definitely know why they call it Misery for sure.
The people were absolutely phenomenal, though… That was like the highlight of the trip.
Second snag: after finally getting on the road after three days, we finally make it to MT.
During the entire trip, we’ve been trying to contact this lady constantly.
We finally made it, all in all, a little over a week on the road.
Like are you kidding me?!!
You couldn’t just say that shit?!!
We didn’t find out who she was until the end of the season, and maaaaaan omfg.
She got her karma, though!
Serves her right.”

“When I last moved, I was shocked by the unprofessionalism of the moving company.
We’re doing the set up next week.'

Shortly thereafter, that logo went away, never to reappear.”

The idea of starting a new chapter in a freshly renovated home sounded perfect.
“I’ve moved plenty of times before, so I thought I had it all figured out.
The whole ordeal was exhausting.
But I didn’t stay down for long.
I pulled myself together and found another moving company, and this time, everything went smoothly.
The new movers were professional, courteous, and handled everything with care basically restoring my faith in humanity.
LOLAs for my ex, he can go to hell.
Life is too short to waste on broken promises and unreliable people.

It would cost an extra $6,000.
I told them to unload the stuff; they refused & drove off with my possessions.
The cops refused to get involved, citing it as a ‘civil matter.'”
He also included a hate letter.
On top of that, he kept/tossed a lot, including one of my favorite tops.
If not paid within 30 days, they would auction everything off.
“Based on those documents, the police made the movers unload the furniture for no additional money.
What a nightmare.”
